I normally focus on modeling and it seems to get NO love from multi-threading, what more there is in the same condition?

So the other question would be. Why do I want to buy a 10-core cpu each having say 2.0GHz, versus (imagining) a QuadCore 5GHz?

I think you might want to focus on softwares (and their capabilities in this area) and not so much the 'area' of the pipeline.

Most software developers making a product from 'scratch' today would be pretty silly not to try and have it be multi-threaded if possible. Its only feature sets that are older -say more than ten years- that sometimes remain not multi-threaded. Most developers worth a dam rectify this -if possible- ASAP to remain competitive. SideEffects's Houdini comes to mind as a software that had/s features that went from 'single' to 'multi' when priority and resources allowed for them.
